THE CP0P PROSPECT.

New YORK, June 13.-A Mon-

Pacific Railway Telegraph Com
pany has collected crop reports
from all points of the northwest
and Manitoba, and with hardly a
single exception the prospects are
said to be much better than last
year and plentiful harvest is ex-
pected. In Rosenfeldt and sew

there had been no rain since May
20, and the crops were very back

day night and Saturday there were
heavy transforms all over the
country, followed by warm wealth.

yesterday were unanimous in say
ing that the crops were never bet
ter since the country was settled.
Wheat in some places is seventeen
inches high. Farmers and bust
ness men never felt more conf
dent of a good crop than at pre-
sent.

MONTANA LETTER.
Climate, Soil, Productions. A Visi,
to the National Park.

EDITOR GRAPAIc:-I came here
a little more than a year ago on
account of my health and feel that
[ have been greatly benefited by
SO doing.
We have just passed through a
very severe winter. 1t was cold
and very stormy with two feet of
snow. The stockmen who had no
feed lost at least so per cent of
their cattle and sheep. Horses
did very well but came out of the
winter very thin.
Bozeman is the county seat of
Gallatin county and is situated in
Gallatin valley, surrounded by
beautiful foot hills and the snowy
peaks of the Rocky mountains.
The foot hills are covered with an
abundance of fine bunch grass, on
which horses and cattle feed in
great numbers.
Bozeman is prosperous town,
and has ten grocery stores, seven
dry goods stores, five blacksmith
shops, a court house that was erect
ed at cost of $50, 900, two nation
al banks with capital of 100000
each, and a Touring mill that cost
100000.
Gallatin valley has a very pro-
ductive soil. Oats yield from 40
to so bushels per acre. barley 30
to 60 per acre, wheat 30 to 70 per
acre; SO you see, by these figures
that it is better country for
small grain than Missouri. Tim
othy makes a good crop when well
irrigated. All crops have to be
irrigated here or nothing would
be raised, as it seldom rains dur
ing the summer or fall. We have
snow here instead of rain. Crops
are little backward but look well.
Oats are worth Sl.75 per hundred,
wheat 75cts per bushel. Times
are tolerably good. General wag-
es are $4,000 per month, and 50. 90
per day during the harvest. The
climate during the summer and
fall is the finest in the world and
very healthful. The nights are
cool and delightful for sleeping.
The sun shines quite warm
through the day, but we usually
have a pleasant breeze from the
snowy peaks.
1 will give you a short sketch
of my trip to the National Park
last summer. John Walters and
myself rigged our pack ponies and
taking our provisions we camp
ed out during the journey and did
our own cooking. This gave me an
excellent appetite, which has not
left me since. We had fresh veni-
son, bear and elk, which we relish
ed very much. The first objects
of interest were the mammoth hot
springs. Here a fine hotel has
been erected, and art has combin-
ed with nature to make the place
very attractive. From this point
we went to Yellow Stone Falls,
which are 365 feet in perpendicu-
lar height. The walls of the
grand canon through which the
river flows are 17O0 feet in height
and look as if they had been fres-
coed in beautiful colors by the
hand of the Great Artist From
here we went to visit the Geysers
or shooting springs. These are
considered the grandest sight in
the world, and / have no reason to
doubt that it is true. The forma-
ton about them is beautiful be-
ond description. There is but

THE PETITION NUISANCE.

Some people never seehl " IT,
alize the amount of cheek they
display when they request others
to sign recommendations or petit
tions. There are times when such
requests amount to positive impu-
dence. Neither do those who sign
petitions and recommendations
always realize the gravity of the
position in which it places them.
Many persons sign petitions and
recommendations, simply, because
they are requested SO to do.
Others sign them because they
have an honest desire to assist
worthy individuals. But there is
another class who sign them from
purely selfish motives, and here
the dangerous work of signing pc
titions and recommendations be-
gins; for these persons are usual
ly men of official position and in
fiuence. Such men should never
sign petitions or recommendations
in.their official capacity Yet they
often feel compelled t., do so be-
cause they want the intiuerc ce OF
the petitioners and their friends.
Persons who take the advantage
of official position and the prob
able necessities of the future to
force men to assist them, deserve
the severest condemnation; for,
while it may for a time be benefi-
cial to the one individual it may
also infict a grevious wrong upon
a community. Take for example
the judge of a circuit court or g
professor in an institution ol
learning. If a criminal has beer
sentenced to the penitentiary and
his friends think that two-thirds
of the time for which he is sen
fenced is sufficient punishment
the judge who passed the sen
tence should never be asked t.
sign a petition for his release; if ,
young man has graduated, hi
professor should never sign hi
recommendation for a position, fol
both may be unworthy to receive
the benefits sought in their behalf
The Judge should say that, whel
the trial was finished and the Grim
inal sentenced, his work was done
and pardon must rest with the
friends of the condemned and tn,
executive of the state. The pro
fessor should state that when th,
young mans grades In study ant
department were certified to, hi
work as professor was finished
and the graduates future mus
rest upon his own industry ant
worthiness. If this course wer,
pursued in the matter of recon
mendations and petitions, man,
men would be kept in the peni
tentiary, who are underservingl,
turned loose upon communities
many young men would be KEEP
out of responsible positions the,
are unworthy to hold, and last bu
not least, these officials would b.
saved the extreme humiE alton O.

to counteract their influence b,

THURSDAY MORNING
The graduating exercises of the
junior and Senior classes 5egan
promptly at $50 o'clock. The rep
resentatives of the junior class
were Arthur Willard, who Grated
on "Mastership," and S. NJ. Snod-
grass, who had chosen for his sub
ject, "Men VINO Move the World"
The following were the repre-
sentatives of the Senior class and
the subjects of their orations and
essays; Salutatory Oration, G. w.

When there has been so much
that was excellent and so little that
was imperfect, comparisons would
be odious and criticisms out of
place. 1t is enough to say that the
exercises were all of an unusual
ly high order and the weeks enter
tainment succession of surprises
